Tin Tin, crazy little f**ker but funny with it, not seen him for ages, think he moved to the South West or am I thinking of Deno?

Deno definitely moved to the south west and put in an appearance or two at Yeovil games, I've heard he's moved back up here now.

You don't see me there much anymore.
I'm sure Denno was at Stoke with J***o.
They were up there with Abbot and Costello, Eric and Ernie, Jason and Kylie as a double act!
Always entertaining to put it mildly.

Paul Gilligan was a regular fan / photographer throughout our Conference days .

Paul was a fan for a long time, going back to the sixties. Unfortunately someone at the club pissed him off big style and as a result he's severed all links with DRFC. He doesn't go to games any longer. Sad really.

Got me thinking what ever came of the old director Peter Wetzel? Excuse spelling if I got it wrong. I knew he sold his shares around 2009/2010 but wondered if he had ever resurfaced.
Always found him polite when I spoke to him.

John something, the guy who used to video all the matches back when we were in the Conference. He's disappeared. He did get himself a nice new lady friend some years back now but he's disappeared from my Mum's life too - he was a general handyman and fix it bloke who did shed loads in her house. Mind you, he walked off with most of her tools in the process. And plenty of mine.

Does anyone remember a bloke called "Haigy" who used to wear a long blonde wig and a red and white cardigan.
He was a regular in the 60's and a kind of leader of the home end and away fans.
There was also a girl called Sue who went to loads of away games with Haigy and his band of regulars.

 Haighy (Brian) lived in Hexthorpe and seemed to disappear about 1970. His elder brother (Pete) was a lot taller and ended up in a wheelchair but still attended games until a few seasons ago.
Some years ago Ken Avis told me that Sue used to meet her son off the coach after away games. Maybe he still goes.

Allegedly, once she was on the back seat of the coach to an away match. Got her books out and flashed them to the following  motorists. Nearly caused a pile up  apparently.

Hound...Were you on the train to Halifax when Sue was laying on the luggage rack, she had done a few of the lads that journey, yes very popular and lived I believe in Hyde Park, cracking looking.

Haighy did himself an injury the story being he got set on fire, When I was on the beat in Kirk Sandall, he used to live near the school on Graham Rd, not seen him for years but last time he was failing sadly. Him and Archie were a right pair, Archie being from Goldthorpe and had a strange resemblance to the late Paul Shane from Mexborough.

Good Days them.

Don't know if "Uredz" (Mark) attends games anymore with his pal, who's name escapes me. Both used to post a lot on here, but haven't heard owt from them in ages. I did spot Mark going into Sainsbury's at Edenthorpe a few days ago, but didn't get the chance to speak to him as we just said hi in passing. Used to enjoy their posts, very funny the pair of 'em.

No bally, i didnt go on the train to matches, always on the Yorkshire Traction and later on the motorbike.
When i started playing every Saturday in my late teens i only went to mid week games for many years.

It's gone on for decades CK. A mate of mine joined the South Yorkes plod in the mid 70's.  He was a very intelligent guy - but he couldn't think of anything else to do at the time. ever since he's always said that at least half of the coppers he worked with would be locked up inside if they weren't wearing the uniform, that the highlight of every week was the Saturday night punch up in Sheffield town centre and that stitching up people was considered the right thing to do if they couldn't find the evidence legitimately.

My mate went in a reasonable small 'l' liberal type. He left the cops with the attitudes and mind set of died in the wool fascist.

A couple of the Tranmere lads are acquaintances of mine so I had a few beers with them in the Masons after the game and offered to walk back to the station with them, but they said they could find their way.

I would have taken them down West Laith Gate and avoided Paris Gate, but the SYPD in their infinite wisdom picked them up and paraded them down St Sep past PG where there were a few out celebrating a certain Donny White's birthday. Complete stitch-up.

I'm on there. Far left, three from the back. Happy days.

Also, we must've been one of the most consistent replica shirt wearing bunches in the league around that time. Remember the Tranmere "giant teatowel" comments? Brilliant.

Dare I ask for an update on what has happened to Tetley in recent years?

Bigger and uglier than ever!

On banning order number 4, after the little fracas in town with Tranmere. For once, he did absolutely f*** all to get banned.

A few Donny were properly stitched up that day by all accounts. Didn't OB march a load of Tranmere straight past Paris gate with the express intention of nicking Tetley & co for being in the vicinity of their mob?

A couple of the Tranmere lads are acquaintances of mine so I had a few beers with them in the Masons after the game and offered to walk back to the station with them, but they said they could find their way.

I would have taken them down West Laith Gate and avoided Paris Gate, but the SYPD in their infinite wisdom picked them up and paraded them down St Sep past PG where there were a few out celebrating a certain Donny White's birthday. Complete stitch-up.

Agreed, definitely a stitch up.

Does anyone remember a bloke called "Haigy" who used to wear a long blonde wig and a red and white cardigan.
He was a regular in the 60's and a kind of leader of the home end and away fans.
There was also a girl called Sue who went to loads of away games with Haigy and his band of regulars.
Brian Haig died about 15 20 years ago, I worked for coop funeral company and they braught him in and I was shocked

Haighy (Brian) lived in Hexthorpe and seemed to disappear about 1970. His elder brother (Pete) was a lot taller and ended up in a wheelchair but still attended games until a few seasons ago.
Some years ago Ken Avis told me that Sue used to meet her son off the coach after away games. Maybe he still goes.
his older brother is called Dennis and now goes by the name of Patterson Haige

Yeah it was - I didn't want to name him personally as he has made a big business name for himself via his company that people on here have possibly had dealings with through the ppi claims over the last 10 years hence why I just referred to him as Gallagher Lad.

He does indeed live out of Leicester, a neighbour to one of the guys in kasabian and has an exec box at Leicester - I think already said all that tho!

Am dead chuffed for what he's done - he was and still is a good mate of mine who I convinced when he was younger to get out of intake/town moor and go to uni to study.

He told me about his business idea for ppi claims walking across the fireman's
Field (as we called it when we were younger) to BV for that Arsenal Coca-Cola cup game. It sounded to me at the time like a proper good idea - how right he was!

He was a great striker in the day too - he was our top scorer in the Sunday morning prem side I ran (from uni tho) when he was only 16. He's 4 years younger than me.

Anyone remember the 'Donny Dressers' in the mid-late 80's? They could be a bit of a handful if memory serves me right. They were regulars on the Pop side at games.

Also, a band from Bentley called 'Skin Deep' made up of local Skins who used to go and stand beneath the Main Stand at Belle Vue. I think they went to games for about 3-4 years then just stopped. They were absolute top lads. Not seen them for about 30 years though, but apparently one of them went off to play in Pete Doherty's band a few years ago.

I used to see them all over the country following Rovers.They were more Scawthorpe than Bentley.
A bit like the Redskins,(the singer lived in Cantley for a few years.)
Mick,the lad from Skin Deep got a job in a shop on Carnaby Street and started up by being a roadie at that time,then stepped in for somebody to drunk to play,or didnt turn up.
